Encounter is a Catholic Bible study designed specifically for grades 6 to 8. Using the color-coded Bible Timeline Learning System, each session of Encounter reveals the story of our faith and God’s plan for our lives. This captivating program guides students toward a powerful encounter with God.

Encounter is much more than your average Bible study program. It is a life-changing experience that speaks directly to the hearts and minds of middle school-aged kids. As your students are drawn into this story, they will come to a new and profound understanding of who God is. Most importantly, they will come to know God not as a distant doctrinal concept, but as a loving Father who desires a meaningful and lasting encounter with them.

The Leader’s Guide gives your catechists and group leaders everything they need to share the program with your students. The entire content of the Student Workbook is included in the Leader’s Guide, as well as a program overview, key concepts, classroom activities, session overviews, memory verses, lesson objectives, discussion questions,  dive ins, and more.
